So, important things first.
Brooks Adrenaline 11's (Female Size 7 1/2)
I bought these last Saturday. I wore them on a 6 miler Tuesday, a 5 miler Thursday and an 11 miler today. My conclusion is this: They don't feel any different than my Brooks Adrenaline 10's. And I think that's a great thing because I loved my 10's. I've heard from other people they feel more "cradled" or whatever in the heel but I don't know, maybe I always tied my shoes so tight I never noticed OR it could be that i have my own separate sole inserts and the "cradling" was achieved by whatever inserts Brooks made and since I had to take those out to put my inserts in I wouldn't have noticed the new style of insert? I don't know, but the shoes are great. I haven't had any "growing pains" even though I didn't "phase out" my old shoes. I meant to, but after the first run didn't feel any different than my old shoes I decided to just jump in head first to this pair :D.
So, I love them.
Second thing, I didn't want to run today. I didn't want to run yesterday and actually skipped my run yesterday. Today I decide that I can't skip again and just tell myself to go out for 3 miles or whatever. And then I walk outside and it's like 20 mph gusts of wind. No thank you. So then I decide to go to the gym, already dreading having to run on the treadmill. But once I get there I realize there are an incredible amount of hot guys at our campus gym today. Staring at this wonderful scenery inspired me to run ELEVEN MILES... on a TREADMILL. Apparently since finals are over all the hot guys have all decided to spend their waking hours working out. That is quite fine with me as I think it's going to do great things for my fitness in the next couple of weeks :D
Running song of the day:
(There's a freaking ACCORDION in this song!)
Haha, I'm glad you had a good reason to run so long on the treadmill!! Glad you like the update of your shoe.
ReplyDeleteI don't think even shirtless Zac Efron could get me to run on the treadmill for 11 miles. Wow!
